Archived issues of papers for birthdates

With over 150 tons of original, genuine, full and complete editions of The Times newspaper it takes a high degree of organising to efficiently retrieve a single paper for a birthdate or anniversary. The new Redruth Archive is working very well and all of the palleted newspaper volumes and crates are in good working order. There is still plenty of room to bring in more stock from Truro. So, as you can see, its a logistical challenge to keep the stocks tidy and organised but one that we are succeeding at.
Every order is dealt with as an individual job, a typical example is an order we took over the weekend for a 2009 Times. A customer wanted 3rd October 2009 Times Newspaper for a Wedding Anniversary Gift, it was a Saturday back then. Paper being the recognised gift for a First Wedding Anniversary. The date was put on to a search list for Sam to find at the Redruth store. The 2009's are all crated and towards the back of the store and the early October crate of Times editions was second one down, two from the right on the fourth pallet in. Being a Saturday newspaper Sam checked that the paper included all the supplements and magazines and brought it back for packaging, its Certificate of Authenticity was issued and the order was dispatched on Monday and delivered on Tuesday. Its going to be presented at an intimate anniversary meal where I am sure it will help to bring back memories from the happy day.
To obtain a special dated edition of The Times for either a date of birth or anniversary simply go to www.paperspast.co.uk or www.birthdaytimesnewspapers.co.uk or phone us on 01872 261220 9am-9pm 365 days a year.

Newspaper Gift Ideas Well Recieved At The 2010 N.E.C Autumn Gift Fair

Wow what busy 4 days we had at the N.EC Autumn Gift Fair.  Papers Past's Original Newspaper Gifts went down a storm at our first International Trade event.  At one point we had three gift buyers jostling in the queue to find out information about our Back Dated Newspapers.  It was great to show off our Historic Newspapers in all their glory.  The 1930 Times Newspapers were getting alot of interest as everyone was reading the old house adverts on the back page.  Did you know that in 1930 you could get a 7 bedroom, 7 acres house in Dorset for £3500, what a bargain!

It was great fun setting up the trade stand as we covered the walls with pages from our Back Issue Newspapers, when we were quiet I spent my time reading these from top to bottom.  At the Fair we also launched a new Papers Past Product - Our Victorian Newspapers - in which the customer gives us a Day and Month date and we go into the Victorian Newspaper Archive and select a Victorian Newspaper full of fascinating news that happened on that day.  To launch this product and to stand out from the crowd Ian dressed up as a Victorian Gentleman, this got a great reaction - check out the picture below.

Although very tiring we came away form the show with a booklet brimming full of new contacts.  We've now got the job to follow up these leads - but don't worry this won't impact on our same day dispatch service for orders placed by 2pm on a week day.  Remember ordering a Birthday or Anniversary Newspaper couldn't be easier simply visit http://www.paperspast.co.uk/ or give us a call on 01872 261220 9am-9pm 365days a year.

Birthday Newspapers make presents of the past

We supply original Times Newspapers which you can send as special gifts for special people in your life. Now here is a quirky idea - contact Papers Past with the persons day and month of birth and we will find a newspaper in good condition from the reign of Queen Victoria with that day and month eg I was born on 22nd July so I would get  a 22nd July dated newspaper but from at least 1880 so you choose the day and month and Papers Past choose the year! Imagine how great it would be to go back that far in time, read the news and adverts. These are genuine, antique newspapers! A typical advert would be "Under House Parlourmaid wanted, £15 per annum all found" or "Coal goes up to 10s 6d per ton".
Certainly a great idea, each paper is packed and presented with a Certificate of Authenticity, Two Sheets of Conservation Grade Tissue Wrapping Paper and a Newspaper Gift Bag. So, if there is someone in the family who is difficult to buy for, make a present of the past with their day and month Victorian Times Newspaper. To place an order simply call Papers Past on 01872 261220 9am-9pm 365 days a year.
